Heinrich Recognized for Exceptional Healthcare Leadership

By Kim Strobel, May 21, 2025

Kerry L. Heinrich, Adventist Health president and CEO, was recently named to the Becker’s Hospital Review list of great leaders in healthcare.

They noted Heinrich’s leadership of a mission-driven organization that provides faith-based care and his unique perspective in enhancing clinical excellence, operational efficiency and strategic expansion.

 “Under his leadership, Adventist Health has successfully acquired five new hospitals, is currently transitioning to Epic as its exclusive EHR provider and achieved record retention rates for employees and registered nurses,” stated the Becker’s article.

Earlier this year, Heinrich led the 2025 Engage Tour, visiting Adventist Health hospital locations. The tour served as a reminder that although the Adventist Health geographical footprint covers many miles, each care team member is united in the Adventist Health mission of living God’s love by inspiring health, wholeness and hope in every interaction with patients and the communities they serve.
